Taking the time to share an experience, not to teach, but simply to let another person feel what it’s like. The joy comes from trust, movement, and the quiet understanding that this moment matters, even if no one says it out loud.

This picture shows us Tammy and Tycloud, as an early memory of his cousin doing this to him so he could see what it was like to skateboard. Definitely those kind of nostalgic scenes I love to portrait!

Traditional. Color markers over toned tan paper. For Tycloud.
Done during the Artists Alley at MFF.

A touchscreen induced typo means that I have created the very apt concept of UK.bullshit, which seems to be a great name for the UK's mishandling of the web and electronic communications generally.

Oggy sitting on a terrace, enjoying a mug of Kofola served draft from a keg.
A small moment of curiosity draws Oggy's attention when a butterfly lands nearby, it turns into a simple decision to share a bit of the drink.
This lingers on the idea of slowing down, noticing the world, choosing kindness in small, almost invisible ways.

This piece was made as an art trade with Oggy, an artist whose work I admire and enjoy.
This was her part of the trade, which I loved:

(Yeah...it took me more than a year to make my part of the trade, my bad!)

Definitely you should check her art at: https://t.me/OggyTheFox

Mausie and Iris enjoying a winter ride through snowy Nordic forests, cold weather is way more fun when you’re not doing it alone, and it makes you forget about frozen paws.

Painting for NordicFuzzCon, featuring my dear Mausie and Iris, two characters that, if you have seen my art for long ago, I enjoy a really lot drawing and painting. Also featuring Svæn, definitely not-Sven, he is Sven's cousin.

It's my very last picture of the year, I really hope all you had a great (or at least decent) 2025, and hoping for a 2026 way better!!

Many of you have reached out to express your concerns about how much power it takes to run SmarTree.AI.

We hear you.

We have taken active measures to ensure that our electricity is as green as possible. Each piece of coal is mined in an environmentally sustainable way, with pit props that are sourced only from Forestry Monitoring Corporation approved forests. Each piece is carefully washed in biodegradable soap to make it the cleanest coal there is.

Lastly, the coal is burnt in our sustainable power station boilers, made only from recycled steel and iron, with a specialist dye made from sustainably farmed plants to ensure that any smoke is as green as possible before it leaves our reclaimed brick chimneys. All our water is sustainably sourced bottled water, meaning there is no need to use any local water.

SmarTree.AI cares about the environment in which its paying customers have to live and we believe that it is possible to be green and profitable sustainably.

The more youtube videos I watch about Jax in The Amazing Digital Circus (and I've watched quite a few now) the more I'm seeing myself in him. I do a lot of the same things he does, it's just that he's much more obnoxious about it. I can't open up to others either. Not really open up. I'm pretty alone too. But at least I don't actively try to make people hate me!

I just watched Abominable and liked it. Kids' stuff probably, but I guess I just like cute yeti.

Sketch for Mute the (blue) Red Panda, during MFF's Artists Alley

The emperor was sitting in his bed when the assassin came in through the window.

"Welcome, old friend."

"Wait," the assassin wheezed.

The emperor waited for him to catch his breath.

"I'm too old for this," the assassin said at last.

The emperor smiled. "It's been over sixty years since the first time you came to kill me."

"Mm. And a dozen times more. Yet you are still alive. You always were persuasive."

"I hope I still am. I would ask you to do it now."

"What?"

"I am dying, with only a few months left. And the pain grows every day." The emperor made a grimace. "You'll finally get paid."

"I won't kill you for money," the assassin said. "Not anymore."

"Would you kill me for the sake of friendship?"

Nobody saw the assassin leave, after.

And the first meeting??

@Photo55 Oh, that happened over sixty years ago...

I have written a fair few stories about the emperor and the assassin the last twelve years. Most of them should be findable using the search function on my Tumblr:

When the emperor was naked, death too, was no longer covered. So gave One, the other Right.
Only his clothes, loving world.

Sadly the venue was sold and mostly gutted over the summer. Pretty heartbreaking to see what they're doing to it. Not sure we'll ever have an event there again, but it was a fun little venue for past events.

Relief that my day for hosting family for xmas is now done, combined with the thought that it would have been better if I'd been able to avoid getting anxious and stressed about it over the last few weeks. (In the end they were all here for only about 3 hours total. o.O)

A pair of twin deer down a snowy hill, enjoying winter days together: cold air, snow flying around them, no worrying about anything else.

There’s something especially nostalgic about drawing scenes like this, a kind of fake nostalgia since I never got to do anything like this when I was younger, since I didn't get to see snow until I was adult, but there is something about the feeling of being in a snowy place or just to seeing snow that brings me some kind of joy, it is like everything goes to a different tone. It's hard to explain.

But well, this was done during the Artists Alley at MFF.
Traditional. Color markers and pencils over toned tan paper.

Wow those are some real beauties. I'm a little jealous.

I was more referring to the additional midi keyboard, the midi control pad, and the two computer keyboards atop the console in the original photo

@praxiscode Aha. Yeah. at this time that organ was just being used as a midi controller for Hauptwerk. So there's a PC there as well running a sample set. The pad was for the percussion and effects ^_^

Happy birthday, sassy chee :blobfoxthumbsup:

During MFF Artists Alley, RobbleU asked for a drawing of Pounce (Megaplex mascot) dancing in a Hawaiian style, he even doodled on the commission sheet the pose he wanted to see. A recreation inspired by the Megaplex 2018 shirt I designed when I was Guest of Honor. This piece brought back so many great memories from those days.

It's finally that magical time of the year to wear cozy clothes and sip on hot drinks!.. too bad in México that magic lasts about three days. We're already melting!!

From Paco and Roni:
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!

Sequence of drawings for our Christmas card. When I did this painting (around September) I had no idea we were going to have a cat in November, otherwise I would have included him as well.

Traditional. Watercolors

You can see the printed cards, as well as a short time-lapse process video of this painting, on the first comment of this submission on my Telegram art channel: https://t.me/panda_paco

I also shared a full video that includes both the stamps and the full version of the process of this painting, as well as full resolution and even more pictures I haven't posted on my galleries yet. You can access to all this at supporting me on Patreon or Ko-Fi:

Pippin friendica
@Obscura, Cheetah Well, not as often as I'd like. I need to spider more! I also need to fursuit more, but that also partly requires a new fursuit first! I've never bought a new fursuit (and am not sure I could afford one nowadays), and I've always wanted to make my own but I have no idea if I'll ever get the time and energy and overcome the perfectionism to get it done.

I totally feel that. I don't suit (fur or spandex) all that much of late. I really need to do it more as well.

For the first time in 13 years I am not sending out holiday cards this year. I had a plan, didn't happen. I had a backup plan, failed to execute. Hopefully back again next year. Apologies to all those who look forward to them. Here are the past 4 years as consolation! ❄️🐰

Archer, the red panda, holding a snowball almost as big as himself. Is he about to throw it at someone? Or is he carefully preparing the base for a snowwah?

This piece was drawn during the Artists Alley at MFF. Archer even came to pick it up in fursuit, you can see a picture of that on the first comment of this submission on my Telegram channel: https://t.me/panda_paco

If you were subscribed on Patreon or Ko-Fi, you could have seen all the drawings I got to do during the MFF's Artists Alley + many more drawings I haven't shared on my galleries yet. Also I have a surprise for all paid supporters on January since it is going to be my 10th anniversary of Patreon.

Now that I have a (digital) piano sitting in the living room, I want to do something with it. I don't think I have the time for actual training, but at least I can noodle around on it occasionally and sometimes make something that actually doesn't sound bad. Like this. Just tried changing an arpeggio one note at a time, and surprisingly got something interesting.
